INTRODUCTION 


f  I  yHIS  BOOKLET,  Volume  4  of  the  Indiana  Limestone  Library,  Series  “B,M 
is  written  to  be  read — straight  through.  It  is  not  an  advertisement  in  the 
ordinary  sense  of  the  term,  so  much  as  a  clear-cut  and  coherent  statement  of 
indisputable  facts  about  one  of  the  recognized  standard  building  materials  for 
banks,  together  with  certain  facts  relating  to  the  design  of  Bank  Buildings. 

If  your  institution  contemplates  building,  it  wants  facts,  and  we  would  suggest, 
first,  a  straight-through  reading  of  the  text,  which  is  brief,  and,  we  trust,  interest¬ 
ing;  second,  an  examination  of  the  Indiana  Limestone  buildings  in  your  locality, 
especially  the  Banks,  which  can  probably  be  found  by  reference  to  the  classified 
list  that  we  have  included  in  back  of  this  Volume  for  your  convenience;  third, 
a  consultation  with  your  architect  on  the  merits  of  natural  stone  for  Banks  and 
an  inspection  of  the  samples  of  Indiana  Limestone,  which  you  will  doubtless  find 
on  file  in  the  office  of  any  first  class  architect. 

These  things  done,  we  believe  that  your  decision  to  use  Indiana  Limestone 
will  be  automatic  and  will  result  in  immediate  as  well  as  permanent  satisfaction. 

For  more  specific  information  regarding  the  grades,  color-tone,  texture  and 
structural  characteristics  of  this  fine  Natural  Stone,  the  reader  is  referred  to 
Volume  1  of  this  same  series  of  Association  publications  on  Indiana  Limestone. 

The  Indiana  Limestone  Quarrymen’s  Association  will  be  pleased  to  answer 
any  specific  questions  regarding  the  grades,  finishes,  uses,  etc.,  and  proper  methods 
of  detailing,  or  to  render  any  service  which  its  facilities  afford,  to  assist  architects 
and  prospective  builders  in  obtaining  the  desired  results. 

Samples  of  the  Stone  to  illustrate  the  color,  texture  and  finishes  will  be  cheer¬ 
fully  furnished  to  architects  or  builders  desiring  same,  and  to  Bankers  when  the 
occasion  requires  it. 

Standard  Specifications  for  the  handling,  cutting  and  setting  of  Indiana 
Limestone,  data  on  setting  mortars,  etc.,  also  other  technical  information  that 
is  now  available  and  of  interest  to  architects  and  builders,  will  be  cheerfully 
furnished.

INDIANA  LIMESTONE,  while  justly 
termed  “ The  Aristocrat  of  Build¬

called  “The  Nation’sBuilding  Stone.” 
The  present  almost  universal  use  of 
this  fine  natural  building  stone  for  all 
sorts  of  buildings  of  the  better  class 
would  appear  to  make  the  latter  descrip¬ 
tive  title  even  more  appropriate  than 
the  former,  which  its  beauty  and  its  ex¬ 
tensive  use  for  the  finest  monumental 
buildings  also  fully  justifies.

ability  and  consequent  economy,  is  per¬ 
fectly  adapted  for  the  construction  of 
Bank  Buildings  and  in  fact,  will,  upon 
careful  investigation  be  found  unequaled 
and  unapproached  for  this  purpose. 

Far  more  than  any  other  type  of 
commercial  structure,  a  bank  building  is 
a  monument— a  monument  not  only  to 
the  success  and  soundness  of  the  insti¬ 
tution  itself,  but  to  the  whole  com¬ 
mercial  fabric  of  the  community  that 
supports  it — a  vital  part  of  all  enter¬ 
prise  with  which  it  has  relations. 

The  community,  perhaps  subcon¬ 
sciously,  recognizes  this  fact  and  expects, 
as  it  has  a  right  to  expect,  that  the

building  which  houses  this  index  to  its 
commercial  life  shall  be  a  fine  and  digni¬ 
fied  structure,  a  symbol  of  its  substance 
and  a  distinct  addition  to  its  archi¬ 
tecture. 

In  living  up  to  this  expectation,  a 
bank  serves  its  own  interests  to  the 
highest  degree.  To  the  average  mind 
the  symbol  is  the  thing.  If  the  “report 
of  condition”  shows  the  right  figures,  an 
Indiana  Limestone  front  is  of  no  im¬ 
port  to  the  analytical  mind.  True — but 
how  many  analytical  minds  does  the 
banker  encounter  in  a  day’s  work,  especi¬ 
ally  among  average  depositors?  Is  it 
the  analytical  mind  that  proposes  the 
impossible  requests  that  every  banker 
daily  listens  to?  No — and  to  the  aver¬ 


age  mind  the  building  is  the  bank. 
A  fine,  substantial  building  makes  the 
same  impression  in  the  street  that  a 
statement  which  promises  a  generous 
dividend  makes  in  the  directors’  room. 

There  is  no  doubt  of  this.  The  fact 
is  so  generally  recognized  by  wise  bankers 
that  it  scarcely  merits  the  discussion  we 
have  given  it.  Even  for  small  branch 
banks,  or  small  banks  in  which  the  cost 
of  building  is  of  paramount  importance, 
the  value  of  a  somewhat  monumental, 
or  suitable  type  of  architectural  expres¬ 
sion  is  generally  recognized  and  when 
built  of  Brick,  a  natural  stone  and  quite 
generally  Indiana  Limestone,  is  used 
for  the  architectural  features  which  con¬ 
stitute  the  trim.

Indiana  Limestone  has  already  been  selected  for  six  of  the  important  main  FEDERAL  RESERVE

material.

In  further  substantiation  of  these 
statements,  we  quote  the  following  ex¬ 
tracts  from  an  article  on  the  subject  of 
Bank  Buildings,  by  Mr.  Alfred  Hopkins, 
an  eminent  Architect  of  New  York, 
which  appeared  in  the  January  1922  issue 
of  the  “Architectural  Forum.” 

SOME  IDEAS  ON  BANK  BUILDINGS— 
ARTISTIC  AND  PRACTICAL 

To  the  architect  with  imagination  the 
possibilities  offered  by  the  bank  building  for 
noble  and  appropriate  architecture  should  make 
an  instant  appeal.  The  influence  of  the  bank 
on  the  daily  life  of  the  community  is  continually 
increasing,  and  it  is  not  too  much  to  say  that 
just  as  the  church  stands  for  the  highest  ideals 
in  the  spiritual  life,  so  the  bank  seeks  to  elevate 
and  maintain  them  in  the  business  and  social 
life  of  the  community.  The  bank  is,  therefore, 
becoming  more  and  more  the  place  where  good 
counsel  may  be  obtained,  where  practical  help 
for  the  sound  enterprise  is  given,  and,  in  the 
larger  institution,  where  records  and  informa¬ 
tion  that  will  assist  the  business  man  in 
maturing  his  judgment  are  kept,  tabulated  and 
freely  distributed.  ********* 


K1RCHHOFF  &  ROSE,  Architects 
the  Architectural  Trim  of  its  Branch  Banks. 

Such  in  brief  is  the  distinguished  posi¬ 
tion  of  counselor  and  friend  which  the  bank 
has  come  to  occupy  in  the  community. 

— which  article  further  states 

THE  BANK  A  PUBLIC  INSTITUTION 

As  the  bank  is  a  public  institution  its 
most  appropriate  architectural  expression  is  to 
be  found  in  the  classical  style,  but  that  does 
not  mean  the  tasteless  iteration  and  reitera¬ 
tion  of  pediments,  columns,  arches  and  the 
general  jumbling  of  classical  motives.  *  *  * 
******  Noble  architecture  is  the 
bank’s  greatest  asset  so  far  as  its  house  is  con¬ 
cerned.  Taste  and  refinement  should  be  in  its 
every  feature,  and  it  has  many  features  which 
may  be  treated  originally  and  appropriately.  * 

On  the  other  hand,  a  Bank  Build¬ 
ing  is  necessarily  a  commercial  building 
and  unlike  so  many  monumental  build¬ 
ings,  sound  investment  value — perma¬ 
nently  sound  investment  value — is  an  im¬ 
portant  factor  to  the  Banker  along  with 
the  necessary  structural  qualities  and 
the  very  desirable  factor  of  appearance.

Cost,  and  by  that  we  mean  first  cost,  is 
really  an  item  of  consideration  with  the 
Banker,  although  cost  alone  should 
never  be  the  deciding  factor. 

The  Bank  official  as  a  custodian  of 
public  trust,  must  justify  his  investment, 
not  only  for  the  present,  but  for  years 
to  come.  Therefore,  lest  it  be  inferred 
from  the  foregoing  that  it  is  a  carefully 
prepared  preamble  to  justify  the  use  of 
a  costly  material,  let  it  be  stated  that 
this  is  not  the  case — quite  the  contrary. 


Indiana  Limestone  does  not  cost 
anywhere  near  what  it  looks  as 
though  it  should  cost — probably  not 
anywhere  near  what  you  think  it  costs. 

In  fact,  Indiana  Limestone  satis¬ 
fies  this  requirement  of  cost  the  best  of 
any  appropriate  material;  it  is,  under  all 
normal  circumstances,  the  most  moder¬ 
ate  in  cost  of  any  material  that  can 
really  be  considered  to  satisfy  every 
requirement  of  a  Bank  Building. 

This  is  one  of  the  reasons  we  have

for  saying  that  Indiana  Limestone  is 
singularly  adapted  to  the  Bank  Build¬ 
ing.  Its  use  is  never  an  extravagance 
but  always  a  sound  investment. 

The  Banker  will  probably  be  more 
ready  to  grant  the  special  value  of  an 
Indiana  Limestone  Bank  Building,  if 
he  will  refer  to  his  own  banking  experi¬ 
ence.  In  making  loans  on  real  estate 
security,  any  Banker  would  as  a  matter 
of  course  take  very  favorable  notice  of 


the  fact  that  a  proposed  security  was 
built  of  natural  stone,  and  especially 
Indiana  Limestone,  for  he  would  know 
at  once  that  its  imposing  appearance, 
the  intrinsic  quality  and  permanence 
of  such  a  building  made  it  more  val¬ 
uable  collateral.  No  doubt  you,  Mr. 
Banker,  have  done  this  very  thing  in 
actual  practice,  and  need  not  therefore, 
be  reminded  that  the  same  logic  ap¬ 
plies  to  your  own  building.

HOGGSON  BROTHERS,  Architects 


Indiana  Limestone  Bank.  Buildings  are  a  civic  asset 


The  Bank  illustrated  on  this  page  is  considered  to  be  an  excellent  example  of  small  Bank  front  in 
Mid-Western  city,  possessing  as  it  does  a  commanding  importance  and  dignity. 

The  street  on  which  this  Bank  is  located,  together  with  the  Bank,  is  shown  in  perspective  on  the 
opposite  page,  in  order  to  illustrate  how  this  Bank,  or  any  suitably  designed  Bank  built  of  Indiana  Lime¬ 
stone,  will  dominate  its  environment. 

The  illustration  shows  clearly  how  this  fine  small  building  stands  out,  arresting  the  attention  of  the 
passerby  by  announcing  itself  as  the  home  of  an  important  local  institution. 

This  illustration  so  fully  sustains  the  statements  made  in  our  argument  regarding  the  real  value  of 
a  properly  designed  Bank  building  of  Indiana  Limestone,  as  a  sound  investment  and  business  asset,  that 
further  comment  seems  unnecessary.

FIRST  STATE  BANK  OF  PITTSBURG,  KANSAS  HOGGSON  BROTHERS,  Architects  and  Builders 

Note  hou)  Bank  dominates  the  block  and  sets  an  architectural  example  for  others  to  follow. 


There  is  still  another  phase  of  the 
investment  value  of  Indiana  Lime¬ 
stone  which  will  appeal  to  the  growing 
institutions.  Since  this  beautiful  stone 
does  not  deteriorate  with  age,  its  salvage 
value  is  very  high,  probably  the  highest 
of  any  building  material.  When  an 
architect  specifies  this  material  he  does 
so  with  the  assurance  that  the  building 
may  be  harmoniously  altered  or  added 
to,  even  at  a  somewhat  distant  date  in 
event  of  changes  to  the  structure  being 
needed  to  provide  for  business  expan¬ 
sion.  He  knows  that  the  original  work 


can  be  matched  up  perfectly,  and  the 
available  supply  of  this  stone  and  uni¬ 
formity  of  this  massive  deposit  assures 
him  that  the  same  quarry  will  be 
producing  the  same  stone  for  gen¬ 
erations  to  come. 

This  is  a  particularly  important 
point  in  connection  with  buildings  that 
are  to  be  erected  in  several  sections 
and  is  something  that  few  building 
stones,  with  the  possible  exception  of 
the  more  expensive  well  known  granites 
can  guarantee.

for  any  reason,  becomes  obsolete,  the

There  are  numerous  examples  of 
just  such  salvage  and  reuse  of  Indiana 
Limestone.

ROME  TRUST  COMPANY,  Rome,  N.  Y. 

Fine  example  of  Indiana  Limestone  Bank  in  smaller  community . 

On  this  point  the  following  state¬ 
ment  of  a  prominent  architect  is  quoted : 

“Distinction  of  design  and  first  class  stone 
to  give  effect  to  the  design,  are  the  prime  requi¬ 
sites  for  a  successful  Bank  Building.  These  two 
elements  have  already  been  found  the  greatest 
influences  in  attracting  the  depositor  and  busi¬ 
ness  man. 

In  all  instances  where  Banks  have  followed 
this  advice  it  has  never  been  disapproved— the 
deposits  have  been  greatly  increased  and  added 
profits  made,  which  enable  the  Bankers  to 
pay  off  the  cost  of  alterations  and  improve¬ 
ments. 

One  particular  instance  that  I  might 
mention  is  as  follows: 


METZGAR  &  BULLOCK,  Architects 

The  interesting  large  window  treatment  assures  a  well  lighted  interior , 

“The  building  in  which  this  Bank  is 
located  was  originally  faced  with  red  sandstone, 
the  design  of  mediocre  and  inappropriate 
character,  and  the  stone  of  dingy  appearance. 
On  my  advice  the  first  story  was  torn  down 
and  a  moderately  elaborate  and  beautiful 
replacement  of  Indiana  Limestone  erected.  It 
took  a  lot  of  persuasive  argument  to  have 
Bankers  agree  to  substitute  an  Indiana  Lime¬ 
stone  facing  for  the  original  sand-stone  which 
could  have  been  recut  and  altered,  but  we  won 
our  point  by  showing  the  superiority  of  the 
handsome  light  colored  limestone  over  the  other 
material,  and  overcame  the  argument  that  the 
combination  would  look  incongruous. 

“The  result  proved  highly  satisfactory 
from  a  business  standpoint.”

Even  such  alterations  that  consist 
chiefly  of  the  addition  of  a  suitably  de¬ 
signed  main  entrance  feature  of  Indiana 
Limestone  to  an  old  brick  store  build¬ 
ing,  will  often  be  found  to  give  that  build¬ 
ing  the  character  necessary  to  stamp 


it  as  the  home  of  a  banking  institution. 

Alterations  innumerable  of  this  kind 
have  time  and  again  convinced  Bankers 
of  the  importance  of  announcing  the 
existence  of  a  Bank  by  something  more 
than  a  sign.

Bank,  and  Office  Building  of  a  type  that  permits  a  suitible  monumental  treatment  of  exterior;  when  much  larger,  the  building  generally  loses  its  characteristic  identity  as  a  Bank •

NORTHWESTERN  NATIONAL  BANK,  Philadelphia,  Pa.  PHILLIP  MERZ,  Architect 

The  height  of  these  handsome  Ionic  columns  of  Indiana  Limestone  and  the  majestic  lofty  appearance 
of  this  fine  Building,  can  be  gained  by  a  comparison  of  its  height  With  the  pedestrians  in  picture. 


In  fact  the  importance  of  pre¬ 
senting  a  handsome  and  substantial 
appearance  to  the  public  view  can 
hardly  be  overestimated.  This  is  now 
generally  recognized  as  one  of  the 
best  kinds  of  advertising  that  a  Bank 
can  do. 

To  briefly  sum  up  these  facts,  the 
principal  merits  of  Indiana  Limestone 
as  applied  to  bank  buildings  are :  First — 
The  dignified  beauty  and  structural 


worth  of  a  permanent  natural  prod¬ 
uct,  which  is  entirely  unapproach¬ 
able  by  any  manufactured  substi¬ 
tute  and  fully  expresses  the  charac¬ 
ter  of  Banking  institutions.  Second 
— A  cost  sufficiently  low  to  place  it 
always  within  the  limits  of  a  sound 
commercial  investment. 

Indiana  Limestone  very  often 
competes  successfully  in  price  with  much 
less  desirable  substitutes.

SIMONS,  BRITTAIN  &.  ENGLISH,  Architects 


The  actual  cost  of  any  building  is 
necessarily  dependent  largely  upon  the 
architectural  design  and  the  appro¬ 
priate  use  of  the  material  selected. 

The  manner  of  using  a  material  is 
often  a  greater  factor  in  the  cost,  than 
the  material  itself.  This  is  true  of  all 
materials  to  a  much  greater  extent 
than  is  generally  appreciated  and  is 
especially  true  of  stone. 

The  cost  will,  therefore,  be  con¬ 
trolled  largely  by  the  architect  through 
the  complexity  of  detail,  simplicity,  or 
elaboration  of  his  design.  This  is  an  im¬ 
portant  matter,  for  when  properly  han¬ 
dled,  Indiana  Limestone  will  give  not 
only  intrinsic  durability  and  beauty  at 
reasonable  cost,  but  will  also  give  to  the 


character  of  your  building  an  appear¬ 
ance  of  strength,  a  worth-while  asset 
which  mere  money  alone  cannot  pro¬ 
duce,  thus  making  the  Bank  a  monu¬ 
ment  as  such,  for  generations  to  come. 

Though  the  stone  is  of  a  quality 
which  admits  of  the  most  intricate 
carving  and  other  elaborate  treatment 
with  signal  ease,  the  most  successful 
Indiana  Limestone  buildings  have  sel¬ 
dom  been  the  most  highly  ornamented; 
for  a  simple,  massive  treatment,  express¬ 
ing  the  nobility  of  the  stone  itself,  is  a 
vital  factor  in  the  success  of  any  design. 
Just  imagine  the  finest  stone  building 
you  know,  built,  upon  exactly  the  same 
design,  of  wood,  or  any  other  material, 
and  this  point  becomes  clear.

The  experienced  Bank  Architect 
knows  how  to  handle  these  factors  and 
produce,  in  the  completed  structure,  the 
desirable  characteristics  without  resort 
to  useless  and  unnecessary  elaboration. 
The  illustrations,  it  will  be  noted,  in¬ 
clude  examples  of  the  larger  and  more 
elaborately  designed  monumental  banks, 
on  down  to  the  quite  simple  and  moder¬ 
ate  cost  smaller  buildings,  in  which  the 
cost  has  invariably  been  carefully  con¬ 
sidered.  Also  a  couple  of  examples  of 
Stone  Trimmed  Brick  buildings  where 
“The  Aristocrat  of  Building  Ma¬ 
terials”  was  employed  for  the  archi¬ 
tectural  features  to  give  a  distinctive 


character  to  these  walls  of  brickwork. 
Such  use  of  stone  and  brick  for  Bank 
Buildings  is  often  determined  by  type 
of  architectural  design  rather  than  by 
economic  reasons. 

A  further  item  of  importance  in 
connection  with  the  design  of  branch 
Bank  Buildings  that  is  worthy  of  careful 
consideration  is  that  of  an  identifying 
uniformity.  It  is  considered  a  business 
asset  for  any  Banking  institution  that 
maintains  several  branches  to  adopt  a 
characteristic  style  of  architectural  ex¬ 
pression  for  these  buildings,  and  then 
to  carry  out  all  of  the  designs  for 
branch  Banks  in  that  particular  style.

BANK  OF  DETROIT,  Detroit,  Mich. 


GIAVER,  DINKELBERG  &  ELLINGTON,  Architects 
Built  of  Gray  Indiana  Limestone. 


Indiana  Limestone  is  most  appro¬ 
priate  for  this  purpose  because  its 
economy  permits  the  Branch  Banks  to 
be  built  of  the  same  material  as  the 
parent  institution.  Such  buildings  have 
an  individuality  and  in  the  public  mind 
must  create  the  lasting  impression  that 


they  are  a  part  of  an  old  established 
institution,  the  worth  and  integrity  of 
which  they  were  already  familiar  with. 
The  Bank  of  Detroit  successfully  carried 
out  this  idea,  as  will  be  noted  from  the 
three  similar  branch  Banks  of  this  insti¬ 
tution,  illustrated  on  opposite  page.

THIRD  NATIONAL  BANK,  Scranton,  Pa.  EDWARD  LANGLEY,  Architect  for 

the  Altered  Building 


The  two  views  of  Bank  on  this  page  serves  to  illustrate 
the  point  mentioned  elsewhere  in  the  text  in  regard  to 
the  facility  with  which  buildings  erected  of  Indiana 
Limestone  can  be  altered. 

The  original  building  is  shown  by  the  small  cut  to  the 
left.  When  the  owners  found  it  desirbale  to  remodel 
and  enlarge  their  bank  they  purchased  the  joining  site 
and  found  it  practical  to  take  down,  remodel  and  rebuild 
their  Indiana  Limestone  front  as  a  central  portion  of 
the  enlarged  building,  adding  wings  on  both  sides. 

The  present  building,  while  unquestionably  a  tribute 
to  the  Architect’s  ingenuity,  is  further  a  tribute  to  the 
permanence,  salvage  value  and  adaptability  of  Indiana 
Limestone  to  alteration  requirements. 

This  stone  can  readily  be  cut  into  and  be  shaped  or 
fitted  to  its  new  location  in  the  structure.  It  would  be 
difficult  to  notice  from  an  inspection  of  the  present  build¬ 
ing,  illustrated  above,  that  the  building  had  not  been 
erected  in  its  entirety  as  it  stands  today.

SOUTH  SIDE  STATE  BANK,  Indianapolis,  Indiana 


McGUIRE  &  SHOOK,  Architects 


Indiana  Limestone  comes  in 
three  main  varieties,  or  color-tones, 
called  respectively  Gray,  Buff  and 
Variegated. 

Gray  Indiana  Limestone  is  of  a 
beautifully  delicate  silvery  gray  with  a 
slightly  bluish  cast,  very  handsome  for 
Bank  Buildings  of  monumental  design. 
This  variety  is  sometimes  called  “blue” 
by  the  Cut  Stone  Trade. 

The  Buff  is  of  a  warm  creamy  or 
yellow  toned  gray,  that  is  decidedly 
attractive  and  is  very  generally  used  for 
Banks,  as  well  as  for  all  other  purposes. 

The  Variegated  stone  is  an  irregu¬ 
lar  mixture  of  the  two,  consisting  in  the 
finished  work  of  both  gray  and  buff 
stone,  with  some  stone  containing  both 


color-tones  on  the  one  piece  and  is  re¬ 
markably  effective  in  giving  variety  to 
rather  plain  or  uninterrupted  wall  sur¬ 
faces  and  in  producing  the  effect  of 
maturity  in  new  buildings. 

Samples,  while  they  will  not  serve 
to  effectively  visualize  the  appearance  of 
a  completed  building,  are  the  best  de¬ 
scription  and  these  will  be  sent,  without 
charge,  to  any  Banker  or  other  party 
interested  in  building. 

All  three  varieties  become  more 
mellow  and  richer  in  tone  year  after 
year  as  the  buildings  become  older;  in 
fact,  there  is  no  other  building  material 
which  ages  more  gracefully,  a  thought 
which  brings  up  the  question  of  dura¬ 
bility,  or  permanence.

AMI  B.  YOUNG,  Architect  for  original  building 


An  excellent  example  of  Altered  usage  and  of  the  permanence  and  adaptability  of  Indiana  Limestone  Buildings. 

The  U.  S.  GoCernment  followed  its  own  Wise  precedent  by  building  its  handsome  new  Indianapolis  Post-Office  Building  of  the  same  material. 


Indiana  Limestone  has  no  ascer¬ 
tainable  limit  of  life  in  a  building. 
American  buildings  constructed  of  it 
fifty  years  ago  show  the  marks  of  the 
stonecutter’s  tool  in  their  original  clear¬ 
ness.  Many  of  the  oldest  buildings  in 
Europe  are  of  a  Limestone,  geologically 
similar,  but  chemically  much  inferior  to 
our  Indiana  Limestone  deposit.  The 
natural  outcroppings  of  this  stone  at 
the  quarries  show  sharp,  broken  edges 
which  have  been  exposed  for  many  cen¬ 
turies  without  appreciable  change. 

For  a  full  detailed  discussion  of  this 
and  other  qualities,  or  structural  proper¬ 
ties  of  Indiana  Limestone,  the  reader 


is  referred  to  Volume  1,  of  the  Indiana 
Limestone  Library,  a  copy  of  which 
will  be  sent  with  our  compliments  to  any 
address  upon  request. 

In  order  to  complete  the  argument 
in  favor  of  Indiana  Limestone,  it  must 
be  stated  that  in  addition  to  these  quali¬ 
ties  of  beauty  and  permanence,  it  is  a 
highly  fire  resistive  material  and  on  that 
score  also  is  a  sound  investment  for  a 
conservative  financial  institution. 

Many  so-called  fire-proof  materials 
show  a  very  high  resistance  to  heat  in 
small  specimens  under  laboratory  test 
conditions.  But  in  a  real  fire,  similar 
material  will  often  fail  to  “stand  up,”

The  question  of  BANK  or  BANK  and  OFFICE  BUILDING 
on  which  diverse  opinions  exist. 


Several  examples  of  a  type  of  Bank  Building  which 
falls  midway  between  the  Bank  proper  and  the  taller 
Bank  and  Office  Building  are  illustrated. 

This  type  of  structure  may  be  described  as  a  building 
in  which  several  floors  of  offices  are  combined  with  Bank 
quarters.  Such  a  building  is  not  so  tall  that  the  in¬ 
dividuality  of  the  Bank  cannot  be  properly  expressed 
by  a  suitable  monumental  architectural  treatment  of  the 
exterior.  At  the  same  time  this  provides  office  space 
that  can  later  be  utilized  to  take  care  of  the  growth  of 
any  of  the  various  departments  of  the  Banking  institu¬ 
tion. 

This  type  of  structure  is  one  that  appears  to  meet  with 
fairly  general  approval  from  Bankers,  both  in  the  larger 
cities  and  smaller  towns,  but  there  exists  some  diverse 
opinion  as  to  its  advantages,  and  an  experienced 
Bank  Architect  makes  the  following  statement  on  this 
subject- 

“When  the  time  arrives  for  the  bank  to  take  thought 
of  the  increased  comfort  and  advantages  afforded  by  a 
new  building  there  are  two  types  of  structure  which  come 


to  mind. — one  the  individual  home  for  the  bank’s  ex¬ 
clusive  use,  and  the  other  with  sufficient  additional  rent¬ 
ing  space  to  return  a  revenue. 

“This  latter  type,  at  first  thought,  seems  to  be  pre¬ 
ferable.  but  the  writer’s  experience  is  that  banks  which 
build  office  buildings  for  their  income  return  sooner  or 
later  regret  it.  In  such  a  building  the  quarters  of  the 
bank,  to  which  it  is  vitally  necessary  to  give  distinction 
and  particular  emphasis,  become  only  incidental.  The 
bank,  after  all.  is  but  one  of  many  occupants;  conse¬ 
quently  it  is  difficult  to  focus  public  attention  upon  it. 

“Then,  too,  the  bank  ties  up  money  which  ordinarily 
it  can  use  to  better  advantage  in  its  own  business  and 
embarks  on  a  venture  which  is  foreign  to  it.  Renting 
office  space  is  not  banking,  and  except  when  some  special 
condition  prevails,  it  would  not  seem  desirable  to  build 
other  than  the  individual  bank  building.  In  the  individ¬ 
ual  building  only,  is  it  possible  to  attain  that  distinction 
already  referred  to.” 

On  the  other  hand  Architects  will  often  highly  recom¬ 
mend  the  larger  revenue  producing  building.

because  it  must  then  resist  not  only  heat 
but  also  confinement  in  a  given  space 
under  the  stress  of  loading  and  drench- 
ings  with  cold  water  while  hot. 

The  virtue  of  Indiana  Limestone 
in  resistance  to  fire  damage  is  that  it  is 
not  disintegrated  by  fire  plus  water , 
will  stand  any  ordinary  fire  temperature 
with  considerable  less  damage  than  most 
materials,  except  under  conditions  so 
extreme  that  they  rarely  occur  except 
in  great  conflagrations,  or  at  restricted 
points  in  an  ordinary  fire. 

In  this  respect  of  fire  damage, 
Indiana  Limestone  is  at  least  equal  to 
all  other  fire  resistive  materials. 

A  description  of  fire  tests  on  Indi¬ 
ana  Limestone  which  all  should  read  is 


also  given  in  Volume  1,  of  the  Indiana 
Limestone  Library. 

There  is  not  a  State  in  the  Union 
or  a  Province  in  Canada  where  Indiana 
Limestone  has  not  fully  justified  its 
title  as  “The  Aristocrat  of  Building 
Materials”  in  building  usage. 

Its  extensive  use  for  so  many  varied 
purposes  ranging  from  the  plain  window 
sills  in  a  moderate  cost  residence  on  up 
to  the  most  elaborate  Administration 
Building  and  including  residences, 
churches,  office  buildings,  clubs,  schools, 
hospitals  and  other  public  buildings, 
and  especially  BANK  BUILDINGS, 
making  it,  by  its  very  universal  use 
for  all  these  purposes,  unquestionably 
“The  Nation’s  Building  Stone.”

THE  atmosphere  of  nobility  and 
grandeur,  or  of  quaint  genuineness 
of  craftsmanship,  so  impressive  in 
the  architecture  of  Europe,  is  to  a  very 
great  extent  due  to  the  sincere  use  of 
material  of  genuine  worth,  largely  nat¬ 
ural  stone  and  mostly  Limestone.  The 
forces  that  made  Indiana  Limestone 
were  not  paid  by  the  day.  They  reckon 
their  time  by  the  million  years.  Their 
work  was  not  over  when  the  whistle 
blew,  but  only  when  their  age-long  cos¬ 
mic  job  was  completed.  Again  and 
again  it  has  been  found  futile  to  even 
try  to  imitate  or  equal  in  materials 
made  by  the  hands  of  man,  this  natural, 
unstudied  time-tested  perfection.

While  a  post  office  is  not  a  bank 
building,  it  is  a  somewhat  similar  type 
of  more  or  less  monumental  structure, 
for  which  reason,  it  is,  therefore,  inter¬ 
esting  to  note  the  fact  that  a  majority 
of  United  States  Post  Offices,  large  and 
small,  as  well  as  many  other  Federal 
and  State  Government  buildings,  are 
built  of  Indiana  Limestone. 

The  Post  Office  Building  is  intended 
to  be  not  only  permanent  but  beautiful 
as  well,  a  fit  symbol  of  that  on  which 
our  Federal  Government  system  is  based. 
The  Government’s  complete  acceptance 
of  Indiana  Limestone  is  based  on  a 
thorough  scientific  investigation,  which 
is  a  striking  testimony  to  its  merit.

Built  of  Variegated  Indiana  Limestone 


The  Banker  will  generally  find  his 
Architect  pleased  at  his  request  that 
Indiana  Limestone  be  used.  In  fact, 
his  Architect  is  most  likely  to  specify 
it  upon  his  own  initiative,  as  it  is  so 
generally  recognized  as  the  standard 
material  for  Bank  Building  exteriors. 
Seven  of  the  large  and  important 
Federal  Reserve  Bank  Buildings  have 
been  built  of  Indiana  Limestone,  and 
another  one  partly  built  of  this  material 


as  follows: 

Federal  Reserve  Bank,  Boston,  Mass.

MOWBRAY  &  UFFINGER,  Architects 


Comparatively  few  representative  Indiana  Limestone  Bank  and  Office  buildings  are  illus¬ 
trated  in  this  Volume,  the  tall  office  building  type  being  represented  by  only  a  couple  of  examples, 
regardless  of  the  extensive  and  continually  growing  use  of  Indiana  Limestone  as  a  facing  for  tall 
skeleton  frame  buildings. 

These  bank  and  office  buildings  can  be  roughly  divided  into  two  general  classifications,  those 
of  moderate  height  such  as  the  buildings  illustrated  on  this  page  and  on  pages  10,  26  and  44,  and 
the  skyscraper  type  illustrated  on  pages  32,  33  and  64.  More  buildings  of  this  class,  of  which  there 
are  a  great  many,  have  not  been  included,  as  they  fall  more  particularly  in  the  class  of  Office 
buildings,  rather  than  as  Bank  buildings.  The  complete  illustration  of  that  type  of  Indiana 
Limestone  structure  has  been  reserved  for  another  volume  to  be  issued  as  a  separate  unit  of  the 
Indiana  Limestone  Library.

IT  WAS  not  found  possible  to  illus¬ 
trate  any  considerable  propor¬ 
tion  of  the  more  important  Banks 
built  of  Indiana  Limestone  but  an 
endeavor  has  been  made  to  show 
representative  examples  of  all  classes  of 
Bank  structures,  both  large  and  small, 
in  the  various  types  of  design. 

An  endeavor  has  been  made  to  in¬ 
clude  as  comprehensive  a  collection  of 
Banks  as  the  available  space  affords,  and 
especially  to  include  an  ample  number  of 
the  smaller  and  more  usual  types  of  mod¬ 
ern  bank  buildings,  confining  the  illus¬ 
trations,  as  far  as  practicable,  to  build¬ 
ings  that  are  generally  considered  to  be 
both  representative  and  possess  some

excellence  or  distinction  in  design.  It 
was  found  necessary  to  eliminate  many 
fine  banks;  and  these  equally  excel¬ 
lent  buildings,  which  it  was  not  pos¬ 
sible  to  also  illustrate,  are,  therefore, 
included  in  the  list  which  accompanies 
this  volume.  Certain  of  these  will  later 
be  included  as  illustrations  on  the  Series 
“E”  Plates  issued  by  the  Association, 
and  in  that  form  will  be  made  available 
to  Bankers  and  to  their  Architects,  from 
time  to  time,  as  supplements  to  this 
volume. 

The  illustrations  in  this  volume 
further  have  necessarily  been  confined 
to  Bank  Buildings.  See  note  in  regard

View  of  Indiana  Limestone  Banking  Room. 

The  preference  for  Banking  rooms  faced  with  a  light  soft  toned  stone  is  constantly  growing  among  experienced  Bankers. 


WITH  regard  to  interior  work  in 
Banks;  the  handsome  appear¬ 
ance,  fineness  of  texture,  and 
delicacy  of  color-tone  of  Indiana  Lime¬ 
stone  is  such  that  certain  grades  are 
very  generally  used  for  interiors,  not 
only  in  public  buildings  and  churches, 
but  also  in  vestibules,  lobbies  and  in 
banking  rooms.  Examples  of  its  use 
for  Bank  interiors  are  shown  by  the 
illustrations  on  this  page  and  on  pages 
50  and  52. 

This  use  will  no  doubt  appeal 
strongly  to  your  architect  because  of 
the  restful  dignity  that  may  be  had  in 
the  interior  of  your  new  banking  rooms 
through  the  correct  use  of  Indiana 
Limestone,  in  preference  to  the  often  too 
luxurious  and  expensive  use  of  colored 


marbles,  or  the  unfortunate  resort  to 
their  imitation  by  scagliola.  |This  sug¬ 
gestion  is  not  by  any  means  to  disparage 
the  use  of  other  beautiful  materials,  but 
rather  to  bring  before  the  court  of  your 
good  taste  the  alternative  fine  effects 
possible  by  the  use  of  “The  Nation's 
Building  Stone ”  either  alone  or  in 
combination  with  them  and  often  at 
considerable  saving  in  cost.  Indiana 
Limestone,  along  with  utility,  imparts 
“atmosphere” — a  dignified  hospitality, 
in  contrast  with  the  effect  of  “excessive 
magnificence.”  A  banking  room  design¬ 
ed  for  marbles  up  to  top  of  counter  or 
screen  level,  or  thereabouts,  with  the 
whole  upper  part  of  the  room,  including 
the  columns,  of  Indiana  Limestone  is 
unquestionably  impressive.

are  of  pink  Tennessee  Marble.  This  combination  has  provided  a  very  handsome  banking  room.

Formerly  the  Bank  of  British  North  America,  Now  the  Bank  of  Montreal, 
Edmonton,  Alberta,  Canada 


ROLAND  W.  LINES,  Architect 


One  of  the  many  Indiana  Limestone  Bank  branches,  connected  with  this  and  other  large  Cana¬ 
dian  Banking  institutions.  The  fine  Indiana  Limestone  Banks  in  Canada  indicate  that  this  country 
is  no  less  progressive  in  the  selection  of  building  materials  than  in  other  lines  of  business  activity. 
In  the  larger  cities,  such  as  Montreal,  Toronto  and  Winnipeg,  numerous  examples  are  to  be  found  of 
the  use  of  Indiana  Limestone  for  fine  bank  buildings. 


More  attention  is  now  paid  to  the  de¬ 
sign  of  Bank  interiors  than  formerly. 
Not  only  the  walls,  but  also  counters, 
metal  screen  work  and  lighting  arrange¬ 
ments.  Many  bank  interiors  are  now 
lighted  entirely  by  a  concealed  indirect 
lighting  arranged  in  the  cornices  of  bank 
screens,  which  system  calls  for  a  suitable 
light  colored  background  of  walls  for  the 


best  effects.  The  color-tone  and  tex¬ 
ture  of  Indiana  Limestone  makes  it 
superior  for  this  purpose. 

In  the  directors’  room,  conference 
rooms,  or  officers’  rooms,  fireplaces  of 
Indiana  Limestone,  whether  finely 
carved  or  severely  simple,  add  an 
appropriate  touch  of  simple  business¬ 
like  elegance.

organizations  of  New  York  in  the  encouragement  of  good  Architecture  have  been  awarded  to  Indiana  Limestone 
buildings.  The  merit  of  this  fine  natural  stone  is  recognized  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific  Coast.  Buildings  in 
the  northern  part  of  Maine,  in  Florida,  in  the  State  of  Washington  and  in  southern  California  have  been  constructed 
of  the  Indiana  product  in  preference  to  local  stone,  on  account  of  its  appearance,  absolute  permanence  and  economy.

Built  of  Buff  Indiana  Limestone 


NO  doubt  the  handsome  bank  build¬ 
ings  we  illustrate  in  this  volume 
have  been  as  convincing  as  the 
facts  we  have  been  able  to  give,  yet  it  is 
seldom  indeed  that  these  reproductions 
from  photographs  do  full  justice  to  the 
subject,  and  an  actual  inspection  of  at 
least  a  few  of  these  buildings  is  urged 
upon  the  Banker  or  his  Architect,  hav¬ 
ing  a  new  Bank  Building  in  prospect. 
Just  as  a  sample  of  the  stone  is  better 
than  the  most  elaborate  description,  so 
is  the  sight  of  an  actual  Indiana  Lime¬ 
stone  building  more  convincing  than 
many  pictures. 

For  your  convenience,  therefore, 
we  have  inserted  in  back  of  this  volume, 


a  list  of  banks  built  entirely,  or  in  part, 
of  this  material.  A  few  of  these  build¬ 
ings  listed  are  built  of  Brick  with 
Indiana  Limestone  trim  but  the  ma¬ 
jority  have  the  walls  entirely  faced  with 
Indiana  Limestone,  either  from  grade 
line,  or  above  a  low  base  course  of 
Granite.  They  are  classified  by  states 
(or  provinces),  and  by  cities.  Thus  you 
will  find  it  easy  and  certainly  worth 
while  to  examine  the  Indiana  Lime¬ 
stone  bank  buildings  in  your  vicinity. 

The  list  included,  though  far  from 
complete,  is  in  itself  a  most  impressive 
recognition  of  the  truths  we  have  herein 
stated  concerning  the  finest  and  most 
generally  useful  building  material  which 
the  hand  of  Nature  has  produced.

Facts  that  should  be  kept  in  mind  by  the  Banker,  who  is  planning  a  new 

building  or  the  remodeling  of  an  old  one 

That  Indiana  Limestone  may  be  obtained  in  as  large  units  as  it  may  be  desired  to  use. 
This  is  not  possible  in  many  manufactured  materials,  nor  with  all  other  quarry  products. 

Large  stone  courses,  monolithic  columns,  etc.  impart  to  the  building  a  suggestion  of 
strength  and  majestic  dignity  that  is  not  only  particularly  appropriate  to  Banks  but  a  par¬ 
ticularly  desirable  business  asset  for  financial  institutions. 

This  seems  to  be  the  proper  point  at  which  to  interject  that,  owing  to  the  fact  that  they 
are  easily  turned  on  a  lathe,  columns,  even  large  ones,  as  well  as  Balusters  may  be  had  of 
Indiana  Limestone  at  astonishingly  moderate  cost. 

In  the  buildings  shown  on  pages  10  and  26,  only  five  courses  of  stone  Ashlar  facing 
were  used  to  each  story  height,  giving  them  an  amazingly  fine  effect  in  scale. 

In  the  bank  shown  on  upper  part  of  page  12  the  individual  stone  courses  of  the  Wall 
Ashlar  are  actually  around  6  feet  in  height. 

The  banks  shown  on  pages  43  and  37  are  other  examples  of  the  employment  of  un¬ 
usually  large  stone  units  with  fine  effect. 

The  illustrations  cannot  do  justice  to  these  buildings.  They  must  be  seen  to  be 
appreciated.

PHYSICAL  PROPERTIES  of  Indiana  Limestone 

Indiana  Limestone  is  a  non-crystalline  limestone.  It  is  an  oolitic  limestone. 
The  average  chemical  analysis  is  given  below. 

CHEMICAL  ANALYSIS  ( Average ) 

Indiana  Oolitic  Limestone 


Carbonate  of  Lime .  97.26% 

Silica .  1.69 

Oxide  of  Iron .  49 

Magnesia . 37 

Water  and  Loss . 19 


100.00 

Indiana  Limestone  weighs  approximately  149  lbs.  per  cubic  foot,  has  a 
comparatively  low  absorption  value,  remarkable  elasticity  and  consequent  re¬ 
sistance  to  action  of  the  elements.  In  fact  Indiana  Limestone  weathers  and 
ages  beautifully  under  all  conditions  of  exposure. 

After  seasoning  and  hardening,  the  crushing  strength  of  Indiana  Lime¬ 
stone  will  average  around  7,000  to  8,000  lbs.  per  square  inch  and  it  thus  pos¬ 
sesses  many  times  more  strength  than  any  ordinary  use  in  building  construction 
ever  requires.  Indiana  Limestone  is  a  highly  fire-resistive  building  material.

Notes  on  the  Design  of  Bank  Buildings 


BANK  SCREENS 

Bank  screens  and  interior  fittings  may  be  constructed 
of  Indiana  Limestone.  The  harder  variety  is  most  suitable 
for  this  purpose  but  it  is  not  advisable  to  include  counter 
tops  and  baseboards,  unless  polished  hard  Indiana 
Limestone  is  used,  as  these  items  should  be  of  a  material 
that  will  better  withstand  soiling  from  the  continuous 
service  and  frequent  washing. 


BANK  VAULTS 

A  bank  vault  exterior  of  stone  always  has  a  more 


massive  and  secure  appearance  than  when  covered  with 
painted  plaster,  quite  regardless  of  what  thickness  of 
steel  and  concrete  or  other  masonry  may  exist  underneath 
this  exterior  covering.  For  that  reason  the  bank  vault 
incased  with  a  suitably  designed  facing  of  Indiana  Lime¬ 
stone  is  both  an  ornament  and  psychologically  an  asset 
to  the  Bank. 


Other  Features 

Too  often  little  or  no  attention  is  paid  to 
providing  for  the  necessary  or  supplementary 
features  of  a  bank  building  which,  when  added 
later,  become  incongruous  because  they  form 
no  part  of  the  design  and  their  later  installation 
usually  serves  to  disfigure  the  exterior  or  inte¬ 
rior  of  the  building.  Among  these  may  be 
mentioned  the  following  items: 


CLOCKS — When  a  clock  is  to  be  installed  on  an  exterior 
it  can  usually  be  very  effectively  incorporated  in  the 
design  and  probably  serve  as  an  accent  that  will 
replace  some  other  architectural  detail  or  feature. 
The  same  remarks,  to  a  lesser  extent,  also  apply  to 
larger  clocks  that  are  installed  in  bank  interiors. 

The  illustrations  on  pages  7,  42,  54,  55  and  57  show 
examples  of  the  appropriate  use  of  clocks  on  the 
exteriors  and  page  50  an  interior  example. 


BURGLAR  ALARMS — This  item  is  usually  far  from 
ornamental,  and  its  installation  on  the  exterior  of  a 
fine  stone  building  is  often  an  eye-sore.  There  is  no 
reason  for  this,  because  if  banker  will  make  this  require¬ 
ment  for  Burglar  Alarm  known  to  his  Architect  during 
the  preliminary  stages,  a  suitable  place  can  usually 
be  provided  for  it  in  the  design  of  exterior  and  the 
alarm  be  placed  behind  an  ornamental  metal  grill  or 
be  placed  back  of  a  projecting  pediment,  cartouch  or 
other  stone  feature. 


SIGNS — In  addition  to  the  main  sign  or  lettering  giving 
name  of  Bank,  etc.,  which  is  usually  carved  or  mounted 
in  some  permanent  place  on  the  exterior  of  building, 
various  other  smaller  signs  are  often  necessary  and 
there  is  no  reason  why  these  cannot  be  provided  for 
in  some  suitable  manner  by  incorporating  an  orna¬ 
mental  bulletin  board  feature  in  the  lower  part  of 
windows,  or  in  other  suitable  position  where  they  will 
not  look  like  an  after-thought  or  detract  from  appear¬ 
ance  of  building. 


ADVERTISING  MATTER— Closely  allied  to  such 
signs  is  the  advertising  matter  which  is  not  of  the 
permanent  nature  but  must  be  displayed  from  time 
to  time.  This  was  very  successfully  provided  for  in 
one  building  by  an  interesting  device  consisting  of 
an  ornamental  case,  somewhat  in  the  nature  of  a  show 
case,  in  the  lower  part  of  one  of  the  principal  windows, 
so  arranged  as  to  be  a  part  of  the  window  treatment. 
This  ingenious  arrangement  combining  the  show  case 
with  one  of  the  main  windows,  gave  excellent  facilities 
for  the  effective  display  of  matter  of  various  forms, 
from  the  small  announcement  card  on  up  to  fair  size 
show-card  or  poster,  with  suitable  artificial  lighting 
when  needed,  without  disfiguring  either  the  exterior  or 
interior  of  building. 


METAL  WORK — It  is  always  important  that  metal 
features  of  all  sorts  be  eliminated  whenever  possible, 
but  when  necessary  be  of  a  special  design  and  be 
applied  to  the  exterior  of  stone  buildings  with  careful 
judgment  as  to  their  probable  after  effect  on  the 
appearance  of  exterior.  The  wash  from  metal  work, 
whether  of  copper,  bronze  or  iron,  in  sufficient  quantity, 
will  cause  some  discoloration  of  all  light  colored  building 
stones,  and  it  is  naturally  desirable  to  eliminate  this 
as  far  as  practical.  For  instance,  if  a  balustrade  is 
necessary  or  desirable  as  a  part  of  the  design  it  is 
inadvisable  to  use  a  metal  rail  where  a  stone  balustrade 
can  be  used.  Metal  grills  at  windows  are  becoming 
obsolete  and  their  use  should  be  avoided.  When  these 
are  considered  necessary,  it  is  advisable  to  provide 
for  the  wash  by  deeply  cut  drip  on  the  window  sills, 
or  in  some  instances  by  gutter  that  will  carry  this 
wash  back  into  the  drainage  system  on  the  interior 
of  building. 


PROJECTING  CORNICE  AND  BELT  COURSES— 
The  top  of  cornices  and  belt  courses,  when  of  any 
considerable  projection,  will  usually  collect  sufficient 
dirt  in  the  atmosphere  of  any  large  city  to  result  in  an 
unsightly  wash  over  face  of  building  from  these  cornices 
during  rainstorms.  For  this  reason  where  the  particular 
member  is  sufficiently  high  above  the  level  of  the  eye, 
it  is  very  often  advisable  to  reverse  the  pitch  on  top 
of  cornice,  cutting  a  gutter  in  back  of  same  along  the 
face  of  the  building,  flashing  the  entire  top  of  cornice 
with  sheet  metal,  and  thus  carrying  the  water  back  to 
the  drainage  system  inside  of  building.  Many  prom¬ 
inent  Architects  have  employed  this  detail  with  excellent 
results. 


PARAPET  WALLS — Parapets,  especially  tall,  thin 
parapet  walls,  are  always  inadvisable  and  when  not 
required  by  provision  of  the  building  laws  can  be 
avoided  by  raising  the  roof  high  above  ceiling,  giving 
more  height  to  the  attic  story,  or  space  between  ceiling 
and  roof,  or  by  replacing  same  with  an  open  balustrade 
of  stone. 

Where  the  parapet  is  a  low  one,  it  is  often  an  advantage 
to  build  it  of  solid  stone,  rather  than  of  a  thin  stone 
facing  backed  up  with  brick,  the  same  as  walls  below.

The  Banker  is  assured  of  permanent  investment  value 
and  absolute  freedom  from  repair  and  maintenance 
expense  in  connection  with  the  exterior  of  his  buildings 
when  his  Architect  specifies  INDIANA  LIMESTONE. 
The  character  of  his  Banking  Institution  can  also  best  be 
expressed  by  using  this,  the  ARISTOCRAT  OF  BUILDINQ

With  Regard  to  Architects 


IT  was  not  possible  for  us  to  include  in  this  Bulletin  the  Architects’  names  in 
connection  with  this  long  list  of  Banks  erected  of  Indiana  Limestone,  on 
•  account  of  the  necessity  of  collecting  this  information  from  various  and  widely 
scattered  sources. 

Unfortunately,  it  has  thus  far  been  impossible  to  ascertain  accurately  the  names 
of  the  Architects  of  quite  a  number  of  these  buildings,  and  for  that  reason,  in  the 
interest  of  fairness,  the  names  of  all  Architects  have  been  omitted. 

We  regret  this  lack  of  data,  as  it  is  felt  that  it  would  be  a  convenience  to  the 
Reader,  as  well  as  a  pleasure  to  us,  to  have  stated  the  name  of  the  Designers  of 
all  Banks  listed,  but  it  was  not  considered  equitable,  or  advisable,  to  list  some  and 
omit  others.  For  that  reason  the  mention  of  Architects’  names  has  been  con¬ 
fined  to  the  banks  illustrated  in  the  volume  to  which  this  list  is  a  supplement. 

If,  for  any  reason,  the  Reader  should  desire  to  know  the  name  and  address  of  the 
Architect  who  designed  any  particular  building  or  buildings  listed,  which  he  may 
be  familiar  with  or  interested  in,  we  shall  gladly  endeavor  to  secure  and  furnish 
this  information,  upon  request.
